Questions people ask before buying
How many levels does Sir, We Have an Orc Problem have?
Levels are numbered in an X.Y format and player guides exist for 1.1 through 6.2. Mumpitz Games has not published a total level count, so we are not going to state one.
How long is Sir, We Have an Orc Problem?
Around 8 hours for most players. Across the 600 most recent English reviews carrying playtime data, the median is 8.0 hours and 65% of them fall between 5 and 10 hours (P25 6.5h, P75 9.9h, P90 13.3h). Mumpitz Games describes it as a short tower defense game, and the measured distribution agrees.
Is it worth $8.99?
Reviews split on exactly this. Positive ones praise it for not feeling like Bloons TD and for being closer to a puzzle game; the most common criticism is content volume, with several reviewers saying it feels like a $4-5 game at 10 euros. It sits at 87% positive across 2,834 reviews, and sold 100,000 copies within four days of launch.
How many turrets are there?
Seven: gunner, mortar, cannon, flamethrower, tesla coil, grenade launcher and laser. On top of those you get four click abilities — missile launcher, strafing run, nuke and orbital cryo beam.
Is Sir, We Have an Orc Problem co-op?
No. The Steam store lists it as single-player only. There are no multiplayer or co-op categories on the listing.
Does it run on Steam Deck?
Steam rates it Playable. The minimum requirements are modest — 4 GB RAM, Vulkan 1.3 support and 200 MB of storage.
Is progress lost when you fail a level?
No. Mumpitz Games' own store description states that resources are earned from every run, won or lost, and spent on the upgrade tree. A failed attempt still moves you forward.
What is the hardest achievement?
By Steam's global unlock rate, clearing a level with only four turret types and no abilities, at 10.8%. It is rarer than the three-type version because forbidding abilities means turret placement has to hold every lane on its own.
